Abolish TIFs in Cook County!

Published by Tom Tresser on Sep 07, 2010

We, the tax payers of Cook County demand that:

(1) All existing Tax Increment Finance Districts in Cook County be abolished and,

(2) Any remaining dollars in TIF accounts be distributed to the local units of government that would've gotten those property tax revenues in the first place, and

(3) No new TIF district be created without input and approval by the affected taxpayers, and, finally,

(4) The Cook County Clerk will post online a complete set of reports documenting how TIF money has been spent and who has received these funds.
